A Top Scoring Star Sent Home on 'Dancing With the Stars'

Tonight, another All-star couple was eliminated. But,
before that happened, the couples picked dance style fusions for each
other. They will perform those dances next week, assuming they were not
the eliminated couple.

Also, just in case you haven’t heard enough of Taylor
Swift’s new song, “We are Never Ever Getting Back Together”, she was on to sing
it! The crowd sure enjoyed it! Then, Tom Bergeron made some small
talk with Taylor in which he compared her to Sean Connery and really confused
her.

Shockingly,
the top scorers were in the bottom three but Melissa & Tony were the first
to learn they were safe. Then it was
down to Sabrina & Louis and Apolo & Karina. In the end, Sabrina & Louis were
eliminated. Everyone was really sad and
shocked and they all compared it to Season 5 all over again. The thing is, it’s an all-star season and
almost everyone is amazing! They all can’t
be winners! Sadly, as the show ended, you could see Louis have a really sad look on his face and Sabrina burst into tears as her fellow competitors hugged her.

'Gangnam Style' the Most Fun Ever on 'Dancing With the Stars'

First up with their guilty
pleasure dance on night two, was Tony and Melissa! They danced the Tango to “Toxic” by Britney
Spears. She looked fantastic!. It was a slow start if you ask me, but then
it was swanky and very hot! They seemed
right on and you would never know Melissa suffered an injury this week. Len said that she deserves a pat on the back
because it was crisp and wonderful! He
said there could be a tad more snap but he knows she was hurt. Bruno said it wasn’t toxic it was
intoxicating! Carrie Ann said she was
great but thought her torso could be a little tighter.

Their Scores: Carrie Ann –
9, Len – 9, and Bruno – 9, for a 27 out of 30.
They have a total of 56.5 points when combined with their team dance.

Carrie Ann Takes a Tumble, 'Guilty Pleasures' Week

Right off the bat I was a little disappointed that
we were going to have to wait to see the “Gangnam Style” dance tomorrow. Tonight it is team Shawn with “Call Me
Maybe”. Before we get to the team dance,
we will see some individual dances first.

Kelly and Val were up first with their Samba to “I
Want You Back”. It started off very
sexy, but it took a while until they finally danced in hold. I was waiting for it and waiting for it! She looked a little awkward with some of her
hip movements, but the choreography was really fun to watch. Also, he is CONSTANTLY kissing her; I totally
think something is going on there, anyone else?
Len said it was a little longwinded getting started. He said there were elements that he liked but
it was a tad on the raunchy side for him.
Bruno said that she was a tasty tease and he loves the way she spots in
her spins but she had a forced bounce.
Carrie Ann said she seemed a little unsure and her top was a little
disconnected from the bottom. She added
that it wasn’t Kelly’s best dance.

Their Scores: Carrie Ann – 8, Len – 8, and Bruno –
8.5, for a total of 24.5 out of 30. I
think that extra .5 from Bruno was a bit generous.

Teams Picked and Another Star is Sent Packing

Four couples were up for results right off the
bat. The first couple safe was Shawn
& Derek! The second couple safe was
Kelly & Val. Bristol & Mark
however learned that they were in jeopardy.
Sabrina & Louis were happy to find out that they were safe despite
what I thought was a problematic routine.

Then it was time for the "Macy's
Stars of Dance Performance". It was
choreographed by Christopher Scott who brought with him the Legion of
Extraordinary Dancers (LXD). This powerful piece featured18-year-old internet
sensation Christina Grimmie at the piano singing "Titanium," and I
think we’ll be hearing a lot more from her!
She was amazing alongside Jessica Keller as the lead ballerina.

Paula Abdul Joins the Judging Panel for One Night of New Dance Styles

Paula Abdul joined the
judging panel on tonights “Dancing With the Stars: All Stars”.

Also, another exciting component to tonight’s
show, the couples danced in styles that are not commonly a part of the show. I loved the joking that Paula and the other judges
did about her former “Idol” co hosts, particularly, the part about Len putting
on a dark tight v-neck t-shirt.

Kirstie and Maks were up
first with the Charleston! Kirstie
popped out of a cake and had lots of energy!
The crowd was wowed when she pulled off the “Cartwheel trick”. I loved this dance! They did a great job! I’m not sure about Maks face being in her
breasts, but they are unpredictable.
Lastly they did a swimming worm at the end! It really was amazing. I wish they did the Charleston on this show
more often! Len said that she turns
“mundane into fundane”. He said he would
have liked it a little cleaner here and there.
Paula said that she takes on the roles of the characters week after week
just wonderfully. Bruno said that she’s a
mad woman and he loves her for it.
Carrie Ann said that she looked stunning (and she did!) and that she was
playing to her strengths with the dancing and it was great!

Their scores: Carrie Ann – 7.5, Len – 7.5, Paula 7.5, and
Bruno 7.5, for a 30 out of 40.

Two Former Champions Fall on 'Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars'

The results show began with Len
announcing that the judges would like to see Shawn and Derek’s Quick Step! I was hoping they would do it again!

I love the amount of energy and just
bounciness that this routine has! It was
fantastic to see again.

Right off the bat, it was time
for results. Melissa & Tony and
Gilles & Peta were safe! Then Emmitt
and Cheryl learned that they were safe.
Somehow, the stars did not align for Kirstie & Maks who learned that
they were in jeopardy! Oh no! Don’t forget, it’s a double elimination and
two couples have to go home.

Drew and Anna were up first
with their Cha Cha Cha. They looked hot
out there! I loved how he ripped off
Anna’s skirt to reveal a slinky Cha Cha outfit!
My one criticism is that for at least the beginning of the dance, she
seemed to dance around him a bit and he wasn’t doing very much. I thought the routine was fun though and a
great way to start the show! Len said he
liked the concept and the performance!
Bruno said it was like Magic Mike!
Carrie Ann said that the creative direction was great and she thought it
was a great Cha Cha.

Their Scores: Carrie Ann –
8, Len – 8, and Bruno – 8, for a 24 out of 30.

Semi-Surprising Elimination on Week 2 of 'Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars'

The results show kicked off with Sabrina and Louis’ Quick
Step as the judges’ choice dance.
It was of course fabulous, just as it was Monday night.

Right off the bat, it was time for some results. The first couple who was safe was
Sabrina and Louis fresh off their encore performance. Then Emmitt and Cheryl also found out that they were safe,
no surprise there. Drew and Anna
were safe after being in the bottom two last week, and they were thrilled. Joey and Kym sadly were in
jeopardy! What! I loved his performance, I’m so sad
that he didn’t get the votes apparently.
